The trend in the Aerospace Industry is towards more complex multi-domain products and applications. Systems and components often contain mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, communications, signal processing, video, and software components. In addition to complexity, there are more and more requirements such as DO-178B on the development and verification of these systems.

MATLAB and Simulink have become an industry standard on projects at some of the largest aerospace companies working on mission critical projects, such as the Joint Strike Fighter. In addition, small and midsized companies, including Cessna and Gulfstream, have successfully implemented these tools quickly to complete their projects ahead of schedule and under budget.This is the second in a series of webinars which will review how physical modeling and signal processing design can be integrated and optimized using MATLAB and Simulink.
